you can use the latest and greatest upstream versions (even versions under active development)
you can let the compiler optimize for your system (especially useful with PGO, but honestly only worth it for a few applications, e.g. video encoders)
you have full flexibility over optional features
And it’s a good learning experience, sooner or later things won’t just work and you have to learn about compilers, linkers, various build systems and script languages etc.
But yeah, for most people it’s not worth the effort
I’m not really a “party rpg” player, and “tactics” is a foreign word to me, so I have just downgraded to the Explorer difficulty after wasting a couple of hours on the defend the grove quest.
I’m sure I’m missing a lot of things but the RNG does sometimes feel quite annoying. When I lucked out on enemies positioning themselves near explody barrels the pesky spiders crit-hit me to death, other times the suicide bombers just ran past the barrels or were to spread out to get them all.
Maybe I’ll turn it back up later, or in a second playthrough, but for now I’m having more fun with the easier option. And I would recommend that to everyone who feels frustrated. The game is definitely worth it, even if it’s not my usual cup of tea
And as someone who has no patience: If you are frustrated, go elsewhere the world is huge. That’s a big plus for me compared to Darksouls 3. Alternatively, just stop, do something else and try again later.
Also you can go very far without mastery a technique, so don’t obsess about it (I can’t pary at all). Some enemies can be cheesed, some you kill with dumb luck, and if all else fails just run for it 😅
Yeah, I guess without the prismo you either have to accept a little “loss” at the start of brewing or less water. Shouldn’t make a huge difference either way though
Are you breweing inverted? That’ll loose you some capacity. If you have very fresh beans it might also help to wait a little longer after stirring for the CO2 to get out and not have too much foam on top
Well the orange juice is certainly the dominant flavor and the coffee adds some nice bitter notes to it. The ginger then brings a nice spicy kick if you like that sort of thing in your food/drinks (I do, obviously)
I’d never have thought of mixing coffee and orange on my own. Same with espresso tonic. But it turns out I like both Or maybe my brain just suffers (more) damage when the room temperature exceeds 27°C 🤷
lol, good luck, I can already see them grabbing their pitchforks. And if they do let you live, ask them if they have any crazy recipes of their own and share with us ;)
I swear it’s not a joke - I do actually drink this. And the two friends I got to try it at least haven’t sued me for poisoning them, so it can’t be that bad
Beside the convenience of machine-brewed coffee I found the aeropress to be an extremly forgiving brewer. I can’t remember ever making bad coffee with it (though I’m a taste barbarian, I enjoy strong flavors, but fine nuances are lost to me, so YMMV). As such my “recipe” is dirt-simple an can be done before having coffee (that circular dependency is always a problem with other methods).
I have that Fellow Prismo thingie, so need to mess around with brewing inverted
I usually add a paper filter to the metal filter, but more for cleanup reasons than taste
15g beans, finely ground but not quite espresso-fine
Quickly add 100ish grams of boiling water
stirr
fill up to 250g water total
put on the plunger
wait about 2-3 minutes, plunge & enjoy
For my friend, or if I’m feeling the occasionly sweet tooth myself, I do basically the same just with 125g total water (can be added in one go, I only stirr after 100 above as it is easier and less prone to make a mess if you are too vigorous) The “missing” 125g of water are then replaced with 125g of milk (or a milk-replacement of your choice) + 5g (or 10 for the espially sweet toothed) sugar that receive the nanofoamer treatment
But as I said the Aeropress is extremly forgiving, you can diverge from the recipe quite a bit and still get good coffee. Sometimes I’m distracted and only come back to plunge after 8 minutes and the coffee is still good. Spoon was too full and now its 16g? No need to pick beans out of the grinder, that’ll work too. If you have a feeling for measurements (I don’t) you can just eyball that stuff and not sweat the details
